All About You guide to dietary protein

Always buy organic

Remember a toxic animal is a toxic meal! Always buy organic to reduce your exposure to dangerous health damaging pesticides and other poisons. An organically farmed animal is not just a healthy meal, it’s an animal that has led a life of quality, roaming the lush organic pastures. If you are concerned with animal welfare, the environment and your health- there really is only one choice- organic all the way!

Buy grass fed beef

Because cows raised on grass take longer to reach their slaughter weight compared to cows fed on grain, antibiotics and growth hormones there has been a big shift in the cow’s traditional diet. The problem with this is that many humans do not process grains very well, and if you cow I eating grains then so are you.

Grass fed beef besides being free of chemicals and molds associated with grain fed beef, also has richer amounts of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) which is instrumental in fighting disease.

Seek local produce

Travelling to your local butchers is a great choice when purchasing meat, not only is it a more personable experience but you can find out more information on the animals you are purchasing. For example, are they organic? Are they grass fed? Where is the animal kept?


Plan Your Week

Failing to plan is planning to fail! For good health you need to plan your meals for the week ahead when doing your food shopping. This will minimise your chances of being “caught short” and opting for quick grab convenience foods.


Cook at low temperatures

Research indicates that meat cooked at very high temperatures can damage the molecular structure of foods and increase the amount of carcinogens. Therefore animal products are best cooked at low temperatures. This does mean cooking time increases. For the best results purchasing a “slow cooker” will ensure that your protein is well cooked without damaging the health giving properties of the food.
